Holy crap! Is anyone else hooked on this show? They seem to have an endless supply of episodes, likely because they are so cheap and easy to produce. Discovery likes to run marathons of this show and I just can't seem to turn it off or look away.

Whats weird is that unlike many other shows it totally captures my attention. I'm watching it now and I can't even keep focused on typing this post.

I know exactly what you mean, PG. This show absolutely captures my 100% attention whenever I turn it on.

I really don't give a fuck as to how they make violins, but I can't help but watch.

ITS SOOOOO COOL! I'm such a fan of these types of shows. I like knowing how things are made and how they work. I'm a total geek when it comes to this and Mythbusters. xD

Yes, I'm hooked too. I watched them make carbon-fiber cellos the other day. I didn't even know that kind of cello existed, and now I so totally want one. And I'm a violinist, not a cellist, for cryin' out loud!

Same here!

The only problem is that it leaves me even more curious about how they design and build the intricate conveyor belts and systems that they use to build the thing they're building.

I need a "How its made to the second power" . Where they show you how they build the thing, then they show you how they built the things that they use to build the thing, then they show you how they built the things that built the things that they use to build the thing.

I've thought of that too!

O.o Omg. Wow. Mind reading, anyone? xD

It's actually kinda helpful in the computer-geeky way. My grandpa never finished high school but he's a Mr. Fix-It Man, so he loves How It's Made too. We've sat through almost all of the marathons, and he'll point out stuff like, "That thing's also used for an air conditioner," yadda ya, stuff like that.

I loved how they build washing machines, bicycles, and jelly beans.
